NIH Clinical Studies
Asthma patients seem to be more prone to viral infections, and NIEHS scientists believe that the cells that line these patients' airways, cause this result by overproducing TGF-beta1, a protein that promotes viral growth. This study seeks participants with and without asthma to contribute airway cell samples.
Eligibility Criteria
Non-asthmatic & mild asthmatic
Participants 18-60 years of age
Candidates will be screened for eligibility over the phone and scheduled for a screening visit to confirm eligibility for the study
Participants must be able to understand and provide written informed consent
Participants must be able to travel to the CRU and the EPA
Principal Investigator
Stavros Garantziotis, M.D.
Tenure Track Investigator; Immunity, Inflammation, and Disease Laboratory
